How long did it take for him to pass after he aspirated? Asking because I’m trying to find answers to something I just went through with a duckling about a week old.

What happened with this baby? I brought home some week old ducklings, and one of them was doing something pretty similar to what yours is in this video. I thought he was choking and I dipped him in water and then I thought I might actually have ended up, drowning him, so I turned him upside down...

Idk when you posted this but the egg was just fine. 🥰

First of all, thank you for bringing this baby home. Second, it is not an uncommon practice for babies to be shipped from hatcheries with no food or water in the box. Many of them do not survive the transport. It is very common for the ones who do to be weak and lethargic. I am guessing some...

You are about to see this happen in Blue Springs MO. Stay tuned…

I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine having to make that decision for one of my feathers. It’s hard enough for my fur babies. My feathers are even more dear to me. I do think you made the right decision though, and if you learned something from it then it was not in vain. 🥺

She might be older and no longer producing but she clearly needs you. 🥰 She cam still eat bugs and watch over/teach the littles. 100% yes! Keep the sweet girl! 🐓💕

I’m no expert in m chickens but I am an expert on human wounds. This looks like it was possible an ebscess at one time? Either way it’s definitely an infection and the Epsom salt baths are great. I would also get chlorhexadine (off Amazon). Dilute it in water and spray it in her after her baths...

Are all of these herbs also safe for ducks?

This almost looks fungal. Did you get it figured out? Trying to learn. 🥰

How is this baby?

Did this baby make it?!

Cuz she’s the odd duck!
